The venue shifts, and a new story line – the Royals aren’t chumps! – has been introduced, but the basics remain the same as the San Francisco Giants prepare to host Kansas City in Game 3 of the 2014 World Series.

San Francisco fans were awakened from their their sweep dreams when the Royals stomped the Giants in Game 2 Wednesday night. Conversely, Royals backers found new hope and displayed their raucous Midwestern rooting sensibilities, loosing the frustrations that developed during the Game 1 egg laid by their blue-clad heroes.

So it’s all even as both teams and their followers prepare for Friday night’s 5:07 first pitch at AT&T Park in San Francisco.

Keep a sharp ear on the Fox broadcasting team, whose collective head nearly exploded during a search for ways to paint Kansas City as home to the world’s most patient, loud, constant and hopeful fans. Will the fans wrapped in AT&T’s misty fall embrace enjoy similar elevation for their devotion? Will those fans, in fact, match the roars those rib-fed Kansans launched with each Royals success?

The game can be followed on a live blog at sacbee.com beginning at 4 p.m. Coverage will come from live Tweets sent by The Bee’s coverage team, as well as reporters from The Kansas City Star and other sources.
